This stems from an incident a few years back when 'Dodgeball' won a best catering award and Ben Stiller nailed Judi Dench in the face with an overhand line-drive.I heard her tiara flew off and it stabbed Tommy Lee Jones in the nut-sack (forcing him to change his grimace slightly).

SpdrJay:If the entire audience had been armed with paper planes, this woman would not have been a threat.

That would actually be awesome. Everyone throwing paper airplanes all over the place? Pelting the host, and the losing nominees throwing things at the winners? I think I found a way to improve ratings.

A gold statue is nice, but Hollywood A-listers nominated for Oscars will get a consolation prize even if they don't win: a $47,802 goodie bag.

That's about the same as the MSRP for an entry-level Mercedes Benz M class (and it's within shouting distance of America's 2011 median household income of $50,054). Still, it's the least-expensive this gift bag has been in five years; in 2010, Oscar swag topped $90,000.

"For extra fun, they could show pictures of David Geffen's yacht and John Travolta's personal Boeing 707 on the Senate floor. You want to tax fat cats? I gotcher "fat cats" right here! Repeal the Hollywood Tax Cuts!"

So glad that losing several elections and tons of support from voters have not caused Republicans to stray from their top cause: stickin it to dem libz.

Seriously. The entire ceremony is nothing more than a bunch of overpaid Hollywood egotists patting their selves on the back for their "plays well with others" grades. Something that only appears on the sidebar of normal people's report cards, and that we cease paying any attention to some time shortly after Kindergarten. And they want to pretend to be mature enough to expect no horseplay or running?

36.964 meters. So there.

80.194m but I aint clever enough to post it :P

You can cheat a bit by clicking and dragging the airplane to the edge of the frame, then move your mouse entirely around the frame to the other side. It's tough cause you can't see where you are moving your mouse pointer, but I assume some of you are ultra mega mouse movement aficionados.

The Oscars are about as boring as watching a monkey in the zoo eating its own crap. Every speech is the same. For once I'd like to see an award winner just say it like it really is:

"Thanks for nothing. If it weren't for me you losers wouldn't even have jobs. Oh. and in conclusion, all you layabout shytes that I waste my money on, don't bother coming to work tomorrow, your all fired. You can pick up your pay checks out of the dumpster in the alley".
